A breeder of Small Munsterlanders since 1996. The Small Munsterlander is a one of the newest versatile hunting breeds to gain popularity in the United States.
While they are relatively new here in the U.S., they have been around in Germany and Europe since the 13th or 14th century. In Europe the SM is bred to find, point, track, and retrieve upland birds, waterfowl, and fur-bearing animals. In the U.S. they are mainly used for upland and waterfowl hunting. In general, they are highly intelligent and capable dogs. They have very good noses and are excell
ent in the water. They will naturally point, track, and retrieve (on land and/or in water) game. The Small Munsterlander is good with children, and makes a great house dog. They make a great addition to any loving, hunting home.
The pups are growing quickly and looking good. I have one small male that gave us a bit of a scare two days ago and I thought we might lose him. A bit of supplemental feeding and some fluids seems to have him back on track and he is going good now. I am close to having all the pups spoken for, just waiting to hear back from a couple of people on my list.
Jig had her litter yesterday afternoon into the evening. She ended up with 1 female and 8 males. Not often we see a split like that, but they are all looking good so far. There is a good chance most, if not all, the pups will be spoken for already from my current list.
Dutch's litter at 6 weeks old.
First time near the water and the kids tiring them out.
A video I took of Dutch's litter earlier this week when they were 5.5 weeks old. More to come in the next day or so.
I took this video a few days ago and didn't get it uploaded until today. More coming tonight I hope!
Quiglee's litter at 2.5 weeks old.

Dutch's litter outside and moving around!
Dutch's litter is getting active now.
Quiglee has responded very well to the treatment and seems to be on the road to recovery. Her fever is gone, discharge is much better, and her appetite and activity are back to normal. She will continue antibiotics for a while to make sure the infection is knocked out. We were fortunate that the first treatments worked and we didn't need to use the other that would have required her pups to be taken away from her. The pups are growing like weeds and doing well.

I started getting Dutch's litter used to the puppy shed for a while today. They are growing like weeds and starting to get a little bit active.

Quiglee's litter at 3 days old. The pups are looking good, but Quiglee's hardship with this litter continues.
I noticed she was not eating much and was pretty lethargic so I asked my sister's advice (she is a vet for those that don't know) and she had me take her temp and check for discharge. The temp was very high with a discharge that is not the color you want to see. My local vet was out of town so I took her 1.5 hours north to my sister's clinic. It looks like she has a very dangerous uterine infection. This is my first complication like this in more than 50 litters over 28 years of breeding.
There are two treatment options with the first making it so that she could no longer nurse her pups because of the medication. I opted for to try the second option for a day or two to see if she responds so she can still keep her pups. The fever and pain medications seem to be working so far as her temp is down to normal this morning and she is starting to eat again. She is also more active. Now we wait and see if the fever comes back and the discharge clears up. Her progress is a good sign, but she is not out of the woods yet. Even feeling as poorly as she has she has been taking good care of the puppies. Hopefully, the meds continue to work and she gets better over the next day or so.
Gosch Kennels B3 litter at 3 days old.
Quiglee had her litter starting yesterday and ending this morning. It was more difficult than normal and we were at the vet at 3:00 AM and barely avoided an emergency c-section. We lost several but still have 5 nice looking pups, 3 females and 2 males. I am working through my list now and all will likely be sold.
What a difference 2.5 weeks makes! Quiglee is currently having her litter, one male and one female so far.
Already getting bigger!
Dutch had her litter this morning, three females and two males. They look good so far and we are planning on keeping two of the females if everything goes well. The others will go to buyers waiting on my list.
Dutch could go into labor at any moment and is looking very large. I was worried that Quiglee had not taken, but she seems to be getting larger everyday so she should be having a litter in a couple of weeks.
I think the breeding took, Dutch is due around April 7th.
Rogue had her litter early this morning after being in labor since Friday evening. Unfortunately, she only had a single female puppy, that we are planning on keeping, so there will not be any pups available from this litter. Dutch and Quiglee are due to come into heat in December so we should have a winter litter or two.
My sister and her family have a litter of English Retriever pups that are ready to go to their new homes. Farm family raised with my nieces and nephews! Contact her directly if you have any questions or are interested. Green Pasture Pups
This was the last video of the whole litter taken a couple of days ago. Most will be at their news homes on Saturday!

A short video of the pups at 3 days old. We are down to 10 pups after two small males didn't make it, but the rest are looking good. It looks like we have 1 or 2 females still available.
Jig had her litter today and ended up with 12 pups, 4 males and 8 females. This is her third litter so hopefully all will go as well as the first two. I will start confirming my list tomorrow but should have one or two pups available.
Just a few more days!
I think it is safe to say that the breeding has taken! Jig is about 3 weeks out and looking pretty big for this stage. It is amazing how much she has grown in the last 5 days or so!

Dutch's litter at 2 weeks old and the eyes are mostly open. After going through my list I have the last male and female pick available from this litter.

A female from our S2 litter out of Rogue and Kaiser, born on 1/1/21, is in need of a new home. Her current owner has had a change of situation and doesn't feel it is fair to her so he is looking for a home that has more time available for a hunting dog. She made a few trips to the field and showed some promise, but doesn't have a lot of bird hunting experience yet. If you are interested please let me know and I will get you in contact with her owner. She is located west of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
